STOVE ATTACH M ENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part/of Letters Patent No. 258,811, dated May 23, 1882.

i Application filed March (i, 1882. (No model.)

.To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN Or'ro NnILsoN, of Medford, in the county ot' AMiddlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stove Attachments; and I do hereby declare the same to be described in the following specification and i represented in the accompanyingl drawings,

of whicl1- Figure l is a front elevation, Fig. 2 a side view, and Figs. 3 and 4 longitudinal sections, of an attachment embracing my invention, the nature of which is detined in the claim hereinafter presented. f

The said yattachment is to enable a stove to he so adapted to a pipe or thimblc leading into a chimney or fire-place that the smoke and gases passing from the stove shall be conducted therefrom into the said chimney or fireplace.

1t is well known that often, when a, fireplace or line is provided with a thimble or pipe or discharge into it, such thimhle or pipe may be at an altitude either greater or less than that of theeduct of a stove which itmay he desirable to connect with such thimble. With my improved attachment the connection can easily he accomplished hy interposing the attachment between the thimble and stoveeduct and regulating thwc induct and educt of the attachment to suitable heights for the one to t onthe stoveeduct and the other on or into the thimble.

One characteristic of my stove attachment bywhich it is distinguishable from others for like purposes is its movable endless metallic belt for supporting the induct and educt, such belt being arranged between parallelY side pieces, semicircular at their ends, and an ged or grooved to receive the belt at its edges, such Vside pieces being connected by bars going from one to the other of them, and otherwise arranged in manner as represented.

In the drawings, A A denote the side pieces, such being semicircular at each of its ends, as shown, and at each cnd connected to the other piece by two hars, B B. These sidc pieces, tlangcd at their edges, as shown at a, and provided with guideanges b, arranged relatively to the flan ges ct in manner as represented,

, have between them, and extending into the narrow spaces c between their lan ges, the endless metallic band O. This band has fixed to and projecting from it, as shown, a short induct or pipe, D, and another such pipe or educt, E, both of which open into the space within the endless band and between the connected side pieces.

The endless band, when made of thin sheet metal, can easily be moved so as to bring the two axes ot' its induct D and educt E nearer to or farther from each other, as occasion may require, to adapt the induct D to a stoveeduct andthe educt E to the chimney or fluethimble.

I do not claim a stove attachment consisting of a box having openings in its opposite sides and slides adapted lthereto and provided with openings or short tubes leading into the box.

One great merit or advantage of my stove attachment in comparison with one thus disclaimed by me is that the movable parts, carryin g the induct and educt, are integral portions ot the case, formed by the endless belt and the side pieces; also, that thereis but one opening from each duct into the case, such being common both to the educt and the case and made through the endless belt; also, that the connections B B of the side pieces are wholly without the endless belt, and thus do notinterfere with the smokein passingthrough it, and are prevented from accumulating soot on them, as ,they would were they to' be within the belt.

I am aware of the stove-pipe coupling shown in the United States Patent No. 73,7ll8, which, like mine, has an endless belt, but which has within it a partition and two dempers, the partition serving to aid in holding together the sides of the case. Within the endless belt ot' my stovepipe attachmentl have no such partition and dampers, nor any connections for the sides of the case, and therefore WVhat I claim as my invention is The combination ot' the endless belt pro vided with an induct and an educt the two anged side pieces, and the exterior connec tion-bars, whereby the side pieces and the endless belt are secured together, all bein g adapted to operate as and for the purpose set forth.

JOHN OTTO NE lLSON.
